    View: https://imgur.com/a/xeejZJj you're right, it looks exactly like this(not my case just an exact copy i found on google), that fan in the back works properly , so is CPU & GPU fans but there aren't any addinational cooling parts other than that one fan on the case. i need to change the...

    Question GPU failed the stress test ?

GPU fans peak at 3k rpm when the temp reaches 80C but it can't cool down while playing it's like the fans are useless. it immediately cools down when i alt tab or close the game . i will...

    Question GPU failed the stress test ?

    thanks for the suggestion, i just did check and there's no dust. i also switched from 1 PCI cable to 2 instead of using that extra part for 2nd pin or whatever it's called. GPU power usage wasn't going above 190W (max) before and now it reached 205W(max). i also noticed that the heat goes up...

    Question GPU failed the stress test ?

    if the GPU is faulty i'd probably have to buy a new one and that'd be an upgrade to 4k or 5k series of NVIDIA (if it comes out this year) so i should go for 1000w at least, i don't have a specific budget limit but i usually go for optimal performance stuff over the best one out there, i'll...
